Financial Return.
Investment Thesis
Restaurants are thriving in the Saudi Arabian environment. There is great potential to both existing and upcoming restaurants. The restaurant business which operates in the hospitality industry is under the influence of macroeconomic factors like inflation, unemployment rates, and economic output. Inflation reflects the changes in prices and it affects both the net worth and cash flows of a restaurant. High inflation increases cashflows but affect the value and since the economy’s inflation is moderate, restaurants will survive and thrive. Unemployment rate are moderate which moderately favors the business. Through consistent capital allocation, revenue growth, market growth, and improved operating margins, I believe Taler Inc. will give the best financial return in this industry.

Startup Evaluation
There are many restaurants in the hospitality industry and many upcoming due to the market availability. This represents the need of these restaurants to incorporate Taker INC system to enhance the control and management of operations. Taker Inc is growing and this can be evidenced by the fact that it has acquired another company called Brisk Delivery on March 7, 2022. The company is funded by two investors which are Oqal and 500 Startups. The investors raised a total of $200,000 in funding over one round in the year 2019. Some of its competitors include 35 Up. Menu.ca, and Actyv. The research will be conducted by use of descriptive analysis and an IMPACT evaluation framework to analyze the viability.
IMPACT ANALYSIS will be used to evaluate the viability of the startup. This involves using checklists, qualitative and quantitative analysis, monitoring and evaluation, data presentation and gathering and identification of alternatives. The system that is sourced from the company helps them create their self-ordering app which is used by their customers to make requests from their app and enhance their sales. Provided that the cash flows of the company can be measured, a discounted cash flow method can be used to evaluate its financial performance. The system enhances service delivery and remains attractive to customers since it is easier for them to check and order online at their convenience. Competitive advantage is also enhanced and this gives restaurants an upper hand against competitors that aren’t using the software. Corporates are encouraged to implement the online ordering system so as to ensure that financial returns are promised and fulfilled as per the investors’ expectations. Macro and microeconomic factors that are likely to influence it operations must be taken into consideration.
